Solve by completing the square x^2-6x-16=0

Mathematics

Greeley [361]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

Hope it's helpful

P, Q &amp; R form a right-angled triangle.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

m<RPQ = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<SRQ = 90°

PS = PQ

m<SQR = 46°

Required:

m<RPQ

Solution:

m<SQR + m<SRQ + m<RSQ = 180°

Substitute

46° + 90° + m<RSQ = 180°

m<RSQ = 180° - 136°

m<RSQ = 44°

Find m<PSQ:

m<PSQ = 180° - m<RSQ (Angles on a straight line

m<PSQ = 180° - 44° (Substitution)

m<PSQ = 136°

Find m<RPQ:

∆QSP is an isosceles triangle with two equal base angles. Therefore:

m<RPQ = ½(180° - 136°)

m<RPQ = 22°
